Shakira fever shows no signs of stopping. After the announcement of her three concerts in Santiago, Chile, on April 4, 5, and 7 as part of her “Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour,” Argentine fans have started organizing special trips from the provinces of Mendoza and San Juan to cross the Andes and witness the mega-show.
A Show Like No Other
According to the official tour announcement, the stage setup will include over 250 tons of equipment transported in three Boeing 737 aircraft and 36 trucks. The spectacle will feature screens with 6.6 million pixels, special effects, fire, and a setlist covering all of Shakira’s greatest hits. The Colombian artist returns to Chile as part of her world tour, reaffirming her commitment to her Latin American audience.
How to Get to Santiago from San Juan
Fans from San Juan have two main travel options:
- By land: The journey by bus or private car from San Juan’s capital to Santiago de Chile takes approximately 6 to 7 hours, depending on the conditions of the Cristo Redentor border crossing. Several transportation companies have already launched special travel packages, including round-trip tickets, transfers, and accommodation for concert attendees.
- By air: While there are no direct flights, travelers can fly from Domingo Faustino Sarmiento Airport to Buenos Aires and then connect to a flight to Santiago. However, this option significantly increases travel costs and time.
How to Get to Santiago from Mendoza
Mendoza is the province with the highest number of fans traveling to Chile due to its proximity to the border. Available options include:
- Direct buses: Companies such as Cata Internacional, Andesmar, and El Rápido Internacional offer daily services with an estimated travel time of 6 hours.
- Private vehicle: The Los Libertadores Pass is the main route, although travelers are advised to check traffic conditions due to possible snowfalls.
- By air: Direct flights from El Plumerillo International Airport take approximately 1 hour and 10 minutes.
According to Agencia Noticias Argentinas, Shakira’s fans are coordinating on social media to share accommodations and transportation, ensuring they do not miss what promises to be a historic event.
